I also plan on making seed tapes this year. I've developed a taste for orderly rows that are easy to mulch. I don't have enough patience to plant each individual seed and always end up scattering them. Then I either live with the really spotty coverage that gives, or I dig them up and make nice neat rows. I think just having the tapes from the beginning will make a difference on having to dig things up. I've come to realize that proper spacing makes a difference on how things grow, especially lettuces!
